HOW TO HEAR YOUR HUNGER AND FULLNESS

I know what you’re thinking: If it’s so simple to listen to our body, why doesn’t everyone do it?

The reason? As a culture, we are more focused on accomplishing tasks and getting from one place to the next than we are on slowing down and enjoying a good meal. The faster and more distracted you are while eating, the less likely you are to hear your hunger and fullness signals. Also, people are used to not trusting their bodies because the dieting mentality has convinced them that they can’t be trusted and that they’ll never be thin enough—so the need to count calories and follow food rules has become the norm.

The good news: Those confusing signals can actually be cleared up easily by using the Hunger and Fullness Spectrum.

Take a minute to check in with what level of physical hunger or fullness you are experiencing right now. Start by asking yourself, Do I feel any hunger or fullness? Use this visual to help you identify what your body is telling you.

After checking in with your body, is it easy or difficult for you to gauge your current fullness or hunger? Where did you put yourself on the spectrum?

savvy tip

Snack when you have a low level of hunger. Snacks are designed to help fuel you and keep you comfortable and functioning until your next meal.
